Honoured to meet H.E. Sheikh @alimamaltayeb, Grand Imam of @Alazhar, today.
At a time of record displacement, compassion, solidarity & protection matter more than ever. Grateful for Al-Azhar’s leadership—including its guidance that refugees are eligible for Zakat—and our partnership supporting displaced families.

I sat down with Ali Hamadi—fellow Iraqi, fellow refugee—now set to represent Iraq at its first World Cup in 40 years.
When he fled as a child, this moment would have felt unimaginable.
Life can take us farther than we ever expect—and sometimes brings our stories full circle.

[Barham Salih @BarhamSalih]

Refugee numbers declined in 2025, but the story behind the figures matters.

Most refugees want to go home, but it must be voluntary, safe and with dignity.

For every person forced to flee…

Protection matters. Solutions matter.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

It's because of war.
It's because of violence.
It's because of persecution.
It’s a heartbreaking decision that 41.6 million people have made to flee across borders to find safety.

مع ازدياد شدة الهجمات، تفرالعائلات في جنوب لبنان للنجاة بحياتها.

أصبحت الحياة في لب��ان عبارة عن سلسلة متواصلة من القصف والخوف وانعدام الأمان.
تُدمر المنازل وتُشتت العائلات ويتردد النزوح مرارًا وتكرارًا.
تستمر المفوضية في توفير المساعدات للنازحين لكن حجم الاحتياجات يتزايد كل يوم.

[UNHCR Lebanon @UNHCRLebanon]

Thousands flee Beirut’s southern suburbs after renewed Israeli strike threats.

Families are leaving by car, motorcycle, and on foot, carrying essentials. Many returning to shelters.

Fear and uncertainty are mounting.

[UNHCR Lebanon @UNHCRLebanon]

قافلة إنسانية إلى زفتا في قضاء النبطية لمساعدة نحو ١٦٠٠ شخص.

هذه منطقة تضررت بشكل كبير جراء القصف الإسرائيلي المستمر. ونزحت إليها عائلات من مختلف الجنوب. ولا يزال آخرون في قراهم رغم الخطورة ونقص المواد الاساسية.

سواء نزح الناس أو بقوا في أماكنهم، يجب ألا يُتركوا وحدهم.

[مفوضية اللاجئين في دول الخليج @UNHCR_GCC]

أشاد د. خالد خليفة بدور الأزهر الشريف في دعم اللاجئين من خلال برامج التوعية والجهود المجتمعية، مؤكدًا أن الأزهر يمثل صوتًا مهمًّا في نشر التعايش وتعزيز الوعي بالقضايا الإنسانية.

جاء ذلك خلال اجتماعه بالأمين العام لمجمع البحوث الإسلامية بالقاهرة.

Thank you @BarhamSalih for being in Lebanon at this critical time and seeing firsthand the human reality of displacement.

We echo your message: UNHCR in Lebanon stands with the Government and people of 🇱🇧 - committed to protecting those forced to flee and upholding their dignity

[UNHCR Lebanon @UNHCRLebanon]

“Lebanon has been known for its resilience. But resilience has its limits.”

- High Commissioner @BarhamSalih

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

“This is truly a deepening humanitarian tragedy in every sense of the word."

In Beirut, Lebanon, High Commissioner @BarhamSalih spoke to @SkyNews's @SkyYaldaHakim on the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the country.

[Yalda Hakim @SkyYaldaHakim]

UNHCR's high commissioner told me the humanitarian disaster in Lebanon is "beyond comprehension" during an emergency visit.

More than a million people have been displaced, over 2,000 killed and tens of thousands of homes damaged or destroyed since hostilities erupted.

[Barham Salih @BarhamSalih]

There is no such thing as “just” another year of war.

Every life lost, every family forced to flee, leaves a mark.

Sudan cannot become a crisis that the world learns to ignore.

[UNHCR Lebanon @UNHCRLebanon]

One in five people in Lebanon have been forced to flee their homes.

With Sweden 🇸🇪 timely support, UNHCR is delivering life-saving assistance to those most in need.

[Barham Salih @BarhamSalih]

Thank you President Joseph Aoun @LBpresidency for a timely and substantive exchange.

Lebanon is facing extraordinary pressures amid a deepening humanitarian crisis. UNHCR stands in steadfast solidarity with the Government and people of Lebanon at this critical juncture.

[Barham Salih @BarhamSalih]

Just arrived in Beirut after last week’s devastating strikes. Over 1 million people displaced in this small country. I am here in solidarity —and to urgently push for protection of civilians and an end to this spiraling conflict.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Escalating conflict in Lebanon is more than what you see in the headlines.

Life and loss exist side by side.

Our colleague Dalal, who calls Lebanon home, shares what that feels like.

[مفوضية اللاجئين @UNHCR_Arabic]

غارة جوية إسرائيلية استهدفت هذه المنطقة في بيروت.

هذا ما تبقى منها.

منازل مدمرة. حياة اقتلعت من جذورها.

المدنيون ليسوا أهدافًا ويجب ضمان حمايتهم.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

An Israeli airstrike hit here in Lebanon.

This is what remains.

Homes destroyed. Lives shattered.

Civilians are not a target. They must be protected.
